Healdsburg Plaza Wi-Fi Improvements Ahead

After years of crappy — albeit free — Wi-Fi service in the Healdsburg plaza and the surrounding area, our city leaders have decided to upgrade the plaza Wi-Fi system so that people can actually rely on the connection, for a price tag of around $100,000 in taxpayer dough. At last week’s City Council meeting, KRCB news radio reports that “the council unanimously agreed to restore free Wi-Fi to Healdsburg’s Plaza, approving a $49,000 contract to run conduits and electrical wiring, along with another $50,000 for network hardware and installation. The firm hired told city leaders work could begin within a month.” No word yet on when exactly we can expect this new, stronger internet signal to be up and running in our downtown area — but as usual, I’ll keep ya posted.
